Letters: Plenty of evidence of WMDs

Regarding the subject of whether Iraq had WMD's (chemical & biological weaponry) prior to the invasion of that country, I would like to offer the following information.

Check Google or Yahoo for articles on "Iraqi Gassing" that document the presence of WMD's during the 1980's.

Those who doubted the Bush Administration's conclusion that Saddam Hussein possessed this capability should remember that the CIA and several democrats agreed with President Bush. Saddam's history of the use of this gas was well known and documented by others.

It should have been no surprise when our inspectors did not find the WMD's. After all of the stalling, Saddam had plenty of time to ship them anywhere in the Middle East.

The question was not whether Saddam had WMD's, but how many Kurds were killed by their use.

Even if you disagree with the numbers, you can't continue to say that Saddam never had WMD's or didn't use them against his own people.

The Bush Administration won the war in Iraq and the Obama Administration gave it back to the terrorists. Withdrawing our troops contrary to military advice has been a failure.

Workman failure

I find it very discouraging that Workman Middle School did not improve more than one letter grade from a D to a C after the former principal was moved to a different school.

I am moving my daughter to a private school because of the things she was subjected to at Workman. It is my understanding that several parents will be moving their children as well.

Just having a teacher monitor every bathroom as the kids change classes would be a start to improve behavior. The things that go on in those bathrooms is unacceptable and should be monitored and appropriate actions taken.

It would seem to me that our school administration could look at A schools and learn how to improve the ones that are not. We, taxpayers, deserve better schools.
